Petter Karlstrom, Photographer, Sydney

Description

This extreme close up portrait shot by photographer Petter Karlstrom in Sydney focuses tightly on the lower half of a model's face. The composition employs a low angle looking up, highlighting detailed textures including glossy, wet-look eye makeup and deeply pigmented red lips. The lighting is moody and directional, creating deep shadows across the jawline and cheek while accentuating the specular highlights on the skin and lips. The neutral background remains soft and out of focus.
